After a run of 102 episodes spanning 9+ years, followed by an absence of 15 years, Birds returned about 13 months ago to the largest audience an ITV comedy had seen in 14 years (since the Barbara episode "Mum" in Dec. 2000).
Birds has returned again with 8.3 new episodes.
I hope if it comes back again they find writers than can provide better stories and can also better utilize the characters and create some sort of common thread for an entire series. Marks and Gran seem to be content to just rely on its iconic status and let it float. An added distraction is Pauline Quirke's son did not inherit her acting ability. They need to send him off to university or something (to put it kindly).
